I had Christmas lunch at EBP this year. Quite honestly, the food was mediocre for the price - turkey was dry, Barramundi was clearly cooked from thawed and very plain. All in all, it was ok, though.
The service was where they really dropped the ball, sadly. Entree food and dirty plates were still on the table after dessert. We ordered a couple of drinks and copped attitude when we checked on the order 45 minutes later. One main meal was forgotten, then drinks were forgotten and in the end, one of the deserts was forgotten. As it was per head dining, we recovered the drinks and the main meal, but the missing dessert never turned up.
I am fully aware of how busy it was, and I applaud the staff, who were working very hard to cope with an overwhelming number of guests. It was management that gave the attitude, but the floor staff were as awesome as they could be under the circumstances.
The club could have done a lot better. If hosting a special event like that, they should only have taken the number of bookings they can handle. Again, my heart and thanks go to the floor staff - who also deserve better.
I am not a member, but I'm now not considering it, either.
